Status of InformationThe information on this web site does not constitute or form part of an offer to sell or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any shares or other securities of any kind, nor may it or any part of it form the basis of, or be relied upon in connection with, any contract relating thereto.

Risk ConsiderationsPlease remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future and that the value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up. Exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down as well as up. Where investment is made in emerging markets, their potential volatility may increase the risk to the value of, and the income from, the shares. Investments in technology related stocks can be more volatile than investments in more established companies. Above average price movements can be expected.
